3 Sill Line Perimeter Casing 2 Perimeter heating puts the warmth just where you need it round cold outer walls and windows, spreading the heat evenly, stopping downdraughts and helping to create a comfortable working environment. In addition it may be used to conceal pipes, cable trunking and other equipment to give the perimeter an uncluttered appearance. The system comprises of a steel casing which houses a heating element (a pipe with aluminium fins). As hot water is passed through the pipe, air enters the casing at the bottom, is warmed by the element, rises and discharges into the room through the grille. The main variation of the Sill Line style is in the position of the outlet - whether on top of the casing, in the front or sloping. The grille will be made of extruded aluminium. A few standard components form any number of options allowing precise choice of product for a given application. There are output ranges to cover all likely requirements and a wide choice of colour and finish.

The tube is not suitable for compression fittings. The WSCU and XCU Elements are constructed from 0.5mm Aluminium. The fins are open on all sides, the tube is male at both ends to BS2871 Part 1. The tube is suitable for both end feed and compression fittings. The WSCU and XCU range of elements have the facility of varying the fin spacing thus allowing the heat output to be drawn out over a larger area if required, ask our technical department for details.

Sill Height: 600mm. Water temperatures: 82/71 o C. Ambient temperature: 21 o C. Heat Loss in room: 5450w. Available wall length: 9.6m Casing Style: Sill Line Sloping. All pipework to be within casing. OUTPUT PER METRE= 5450w = 568w/m min. 9.6m The flow rate at a temperature drop of 11 o C will be 5450 = 568w/m min x 11 At this flow rate 22mm ECU elements would generally be used. (The specific heat or water is 4180 j/kg). From Table 1, output from 500mm high Sill Line Sloping Casing is 810 w/m, exceeding the minimum requirement. The approximate length of element will be 5450 = 6.73m 810 Determine the cumulative factor thus: Mean water temperature 76.5 Deg.C and Ambient temperature 21 o C See Table 2. Factor 0.93 Flow rate 0.118kg/s. See Table 3 Factor 0.95 Return pipe within casing. Factor 1.04 Cumulative factor = 0.93 x 0.95 x 1.04 = Thus: Corrected output is 810 x = 744 w/m Element required will now be 5450 = 7.5m 744 Element lengths could comprise of 2000mm and 1500mm. Allowing for bare pipe at element ends these would occupy 8.0m, fitting easily in the 9.6m of casing. ELEMENT SCHEDULE

Warmline Electric Trench 7 The casing is manufactured from 1.2mm zintec steel sheet and will have a matt black powder paint finish to the inside face.

Where casings are required to form continuous runs we provide fixings so that several units can be joined together, along with dummy sections to make up the exact length required.

8 Warmline Electric Trench 7 The casing is manufactured from 1.2mm zintec steel sheet and will have a matt black powder paint finish to the inside face. Levelling bolts are fitted through the base of the casing to allow up to 20mm height adjustment if required. A single module is 1200mm long producing 550 watts per unit. Where casings are required to form continuous runs we provide fixings so that several units can be joined together, along with dummy sections to make up the exact length required. There are 20mm cable entry holes at each end allowing continuous feed of power supply to run through in the air intake chamber. Provision of earth continuity link between casings is also allowed for. Where casings are supplied as individual units the grille and frame are factory fitted. Heating elements are of steel hairpin construction and have steel fins bronze welded to the core, this construction offers excellent heat transfer and an even temperature along the active length, the elements have a 50mm cold zone at the connection end and are fitted into a wiring control box using gland nut and shake proof washers. Within the casing there are two high temperature limit stats fitted to the splitter plate, which are fitted centrally in each half of the casing. In the event of the casing grille being partly covered by a carpet, clothing or similar preventing the air circulating through the casing thus causing the temperature to rise above the desired maximum, the heating will be switched off until the cause of the temperature rise has been investigated by a competent person and rectified, the stat can then be manually re-set by pressing the reset button other types of stats can be employed if required, there are safety shields fitted over the stats to prevent liquids which may be split into the casing coming directly into contact with the stat wiring terminals. There is a wire safety mesh fitted over the entire heating chamber to prevent the ingress of items which may be dropped through the grille, the mesh is 96% free area which allows maximum air flow through the unit. Above the mesh there is an aluminium grille frame into which a 70% free area cross bladed flexible grille is fitted, both grille and frame have a durable silver satin anodised finish.

Spirally Wound all Steel Gilled Tube 9 Sill Line all-steel Gilled Tube provides the perfect all-purpose extended surface Heat Transfer medium of great strength to withstand all nominal system

10 Spirally Wound all Steel Gilled Tube 9 Sill Line all-steel Gilled Tube provides the perfect all-purpose extended surface Heat Transfer medium of great strength to withstand all nominal system temperatures and pressures. METHOD OF MANUFACTURE Sill Line Gilled Tube is manufactured in our own works by special purpose machines which wind the strip onto the tube in a continuous spiral under considerable tension, leaving the fin of semi-flat profile and having a regular crimped contact area. Resulting in a perfect mechanical bond with excellent heat transfer from tube to fin which will not deteriorate or loosen even in the most severe of conditions. The fin, having a crimped inner diameter offers a contact area to the tube equivalent to the outside diameter of the fin. The fins are welded to the tube at each end of the tube. Sill Line Spirally Wound Tube can be supplied in straight lengths up to 3m. Consideration should be given to length limitations, however, to ease transportation and site handling. CLASS OF TUBE Standard steel tubes to B.S are used in the manufacture which can be of Medium or Heavy weight quality. Only specially selected gilling tape manufactured within close specification limits is used to guarantee perfect bonding and strength. Lengths are sold subject to a working pressure recommended for the appropriate B.S.S. for that class of tube. FINISH All lengths after gilling are despatched in self colour as standard. Alternative finishes include Heat Resisting Black Matt Paint. Hot dipped or sprayed cold galvanising can be provided at customers request. For other special colour & finishes please enquire direct with our works.
